In Latin America, the NES was like a hidden treasure: expensive and hard to find. Nintendo didn't sell it here, so clones appeared: cheaper "pirate" consoles full of Spanish-language games. Why didn't Nintendo bring it? Maybe they thought there wasn't enough money here. Wrong! The clones were a total success and millions of people enjoyed video games for the first time. Were the clones bad? Some were, but others were great and even had their own games. In addition, thanks to them, a Latin American video game industry was born. In short, NES clones were a creative response to Nintendo's absence in Latin America. They brought us joy, fun, and taught us that with ingenuity, anything is possible.

@Metal_Maxine 2 месяца назад

I know that Brasil had tariffs on non-Brazilian consoles and electronics, it's why Tech Toy produced Master Systems under licence rather than importing them. Nintendo liked to control its entire manufacturing process (carts were built by Nintendo and publishers/developers had to buy them off Nintendo).

@mint_kyuu99 2 месяца назад

Chilean here, the NES officially came out in 1991, and the SNES came the following year. They were expensive, but they were officially here. They couldn't release the NES earlier due to the dictatorship, but some consoles were imported from the USA since the late 80's. Bootlegs also appeared around the same time those imported consoles started appearing in here.

80's Latin America couldn't afford real NES prices. 🤷 Bringing it over wouldn't have made sense for Nintendo with how small the population that could actually afford it would be. They'd have to dramatically cut their prices & thus margins to get it to sell, making the operation pointless. Cheap Famiclones could be manufactured and sold at much lower costs to Nintendo's first party hardware, especially later on in the early 90's.

As an aside, that 60Hz option on Sonic Adventure 2 is for European owners to output the game in PAL 60 on compatible televisions. Nowadays with the days of analogue television and CRT's behind us, everything runs in 60Hz or above in Europe (though television broadcasts still run at 50Hz).

@talibong9518 2 месяца назад

Isn't PAL 60 pretty much NTSC though? It's the same resolution and refresh rate as NTSC and the colours look a little different compared to PAL. We should just switch to 60fps in Europe, no one watches broadcasts anymore and on demand content is all converted to 30 fps for some stupid reason which makes the playback all jittery, even 24fps video is sped up to 25fps for PAL and then converted to 30fps for on demand when they could just leave it at 24.

@tgheretford 2 месяца назад

@@talibong9518 It is the same resolution and refresh rate but the colour coding is that of PAL. We use 60fps (60Hz) in Europe for computing and Internet content, the 50fps/25fps interlaced we use for digital television is just a hangover of when analogue televisions matched the output of the power grid. In Japan where they have both 50 and 60Hz grids depending on where in the country you are, they standardised NTSC and its field rate. When regular TV broadcasts were introduced in Japan, electrical engineering had progressed to a point where you wouldn't get screen flicker with the wrong frequency so a TV could happily work on either 50 or 60Hz. Europe waited until the Internet and Plasma/LCD/LED TV to make a switch for media content.

@@talibong9518 PAL60 is a hack that worked on some PAL CRTs. It uses the NTSC scanline resolution, but still uses the PAL color burst frequency. (If it didn't, you wouldn't get color at all). I don't believe PAL60 was ever used for broadcast. It was just a hack that certain VCRs used to play back NTSC VHS tapes, and later used by consoles to play 60Hz video games on a PAL television. And the standards use 25 or 50Hz for digital broadcast to retain backwards compatibility. It meant TVs could retain compatibility with older analog broadcasts. It makes it easier to digitize old content, without needing to worry about adding in extra frames. And no increased bandwidth from doing so. Sure, that's less of a concern today. But then every TV you guys use is set up to use PAL, so changing it now isn't really worth it. Especially as broadcast TV is declining in favor of watching content online.

@RatzaChewy 2 месяца назад

@@talibong9518 The jitter on 24p is on most US apps too. It's called the 3:2 pulldown, every third frame is held for 2 frames to make 30fps. A few devices and apps offer a match frame-rate mode (my Chromecast with Google TV does) but it's depends on the TV and the app on whether it works and it depends on the original files being stored at the correct frame-rate too. Many people prefer sped up films over judder, so there's no way to please everyone. Plus, programmes have been archived at 50fps for years. The only way it could be possible is if we drop all support for SD broadcasts and the switch-off of has only just started here in the UK (and there's no timeframe for when it should be completed either, the BBC have but the majority of channels on Sky still broadcast using low bitrate MPEG2).

The "Hyper Base FC" is a very interesting little mix of ideas. Its running EmuELEC which is a common operating system for handheld emulators, but the case design with the hard drive bay is very similar to the NESPi 4, a Raspberry Pi case that mimics the formfactor of the NES and uses a cartridge slot as a bay for 2.5" SATA SSDs. For $30 it's pretty decent, but for $100 it's absurd.

I wiped the 64GB SD card included and installed AArch64, which is Arch Linux for ARM devices, and use it as a little server, since those specs are so bad for anything other than that. The controllers it came with serve as backup USB options, because imagine deadzone, now think thrice as much. Cheers, and take care :)

And the sega clone, that box and model in particular (lol even the yellow-ish buttons on the gamepad) was very, and i mean VERY popular in the late 90's and early to mid 2000's. only difference is the game cart that used to come with it was a 4-in-1 with usually 3 shit games and one good game.

Internal connections like the ones on hard drives are tested and rated for far fewer insertions than actual cartridges or cards that are designed to be removed and plugged back in over and over like that. I wouldn't be surprised if the connectors on the drives start having issues after only a few dozen or so insertions.

Buying a GS5 for someone would be a good trolling gift.

Yes, that first console was clearly meant for the South American market, where they use PAL, the power is 220 v and of course speak in spanish except for Brazil.

Dude I watch your homebrew and wii stuff I always loved the wii for it but that little fc clone the third one that thing is sweet! Haha even to rip it or add to it that’s cool

It was only Genesis in America because another company had the mega drive name.

That third system is an android tv box reshelled. Just got one myself for around 50 bucks. Cool little thing but you can do way better with buying your own stuff. But that's cool they did that reshell

@thardump859 Месяц назад

Honestly I was kind of hoping for you to take apart the bootleg genesis. I really wanted to see it's insides.

The hyper base fc concept is honestly intriguing. It would be fascinating to see a modern "cartridge" console utilize ssds or hdds as physical media

Boxes similar to the Hyper Base FC are actually fairly common. My friend had one that was functionally about identical but came in a smaller form factor.

5:06 "Mario on crack" as referred to by another RU-vidr (can't honestly recall) when reviewing another Famiclone 😂

The hypebase is surprisingly legit. I wouldn't even be mad if someone bought me that. Its menus and how it looks on screen ironically should have been what the GS4 was tbh but its nor.

That Hyperbase is awesome. I'm so getting one.

I have one of the first famicom he showed off. The regular cartridges do eject if you put pressure on the eject button, harshly but it does eject, but at all costs try avoiding using Namcot collection cartridges (Pacman/Mappy/ect). Theyre too heavy and bulky for the thing to eject properly. I swear the console was gonna break from them. I'd suggest to just get a few of those 500 in 1 cartridges on this thing.

@proxy1035 2 месяца назад

love how the box for the GS4 said "2 joysticks" while refering to controllers, and then the controllers don't even have any sticks on them. also i would've loved a close up of that board at 11:32. i mean it is very likely emulatation but doesn't seem like a regular modern ARM SoC as even the game select is done within what seems like NES limitations.

@jordanl5444 2 месяца назад

Famiclones often have an SOC that is more capable (by some metrics) than original hardware. Look up the VTxx series of NOAC hardware for some examples. Wouldnt quite call it emulation, kind of a weird in between situation
